Where and what has been this disgraceful behaviour that has put these investors off?

Exactly. Whilst Ted has probably done his best over the years with limited resources he has been guily of one thing, believing he is Wakefield Trinity. The length of time he has been at the helm resulted in complacency (which we can all be guilty of whether it be business or personal). This complacency though has ultimately brought down his downfall with is what can only be called very un-transparent and ill conceived dealings with regards to the ground.
The Arthur Daley style management of WTW should have come to an end many years ago. The administration has proved one thing, there are investors there willing to invest in the club but there was always one common denominator stopping this.
It's a shame that Ted has to cop the rap in such a public way. But you reap what you sow.

| whenever I have dealt with Ted I have found him to be difficult, and he has, on occasion and probably by accident (on his part) spoiled a couple of ptentially lucrative relationships with my personal clients. I have struggled at times with his outlook on life, his choice of people in senior Trinity positions. His failure to attracct positive business and other relationships for and on behalf of the club.
That said, I shall be eternally grateful to him and Brian Eccles who came into the club at a time of dire need... he has personally spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing his best, and if someone does their best, thats all you can ask of them!
Ted; you go with my gratitude as a lifetime trinity fan and I hope your future is happy and prosperous...

Maybe for you, but not Solo, he left not long after JK's appointment.

| Highlight of Teds era has to be the promotion to the Super League season. The team he financed and the effort to get us into the Super League closed shop have been forgotten by many.
Even if we end up in the championship, at least we've had a bloody good run against all the odds.

Very true. We should never forget the effort it took to get in to Super League and the amazing achievement of staying there for 12 years as it stands, I think? Remember those who said we would go straight back down without winning a game. Those who said we were a disgrace to Super League and didn't belong, Graham Murray being one that springs to mind. It has been one hell of a journey and all those who made it possible deserve credit from boardroom level to us lowly punters. It would appear that it is all ending in farce but then this is Wakefield Trinity would it happen any other way?

Perrhaps you would like to explain the substance of your statement o wise one, assuming you can of course, if not you might be better off keeping remarks like that to yourself, its ever so painful having both feet surgically removed from the mouth in A+E hth.

Ted's been in charge for 20 years. How can you comment about the 1st 10 years of that. Before you were born!

| Feedback off indivuals throughout the years of Teds rain has been really bad feedback. Peoples views is the most powerful and 100% of people have said the same Ted as either treat them bad or he has done something . Power of the people and the most havent a good word to say about the guy .

You might be right, but they are more careful of what they say on HERE.

| I thank him for all he has done for our great club,but he seems to have lost the focus that you need to run a super league club. Personally I think he should have gone a couple of years ago,maybe we could have then avoided this whole fiasco

Funny isn't it , that unless your club is winning whatever competition of whatever sport , the management is rarely ' liked ' sometimes even when you are winning [ Glazers at Man u ] they still arent liked
And yet running a sports club is so easy , just like playing RL at the highest level , coaching a SL club let alone the easiest job of them all , being a refferee
All dead easy from the comfort of the terrace or your ' Keyboard '
